DNA TESTING: THE PROMISE AND THE PERIL

This documentary explores the remarkable potential of consumer genetic testing – it’s ability to find long-lost family members, uncover predispositions to life-threat4ening diseases, help researchers develop new drugs and assist law enforcement in solving violent crimes. But unlocking the secrets of the human genome has also raised concerns: how accurate and reliable are test results? How much can they actually tell about us? What are the risks to our personal
privacy, and who ultimately should have access to consumer data?

THE COSTCO CRAZE: INSIDE THE WAREHOUSE GIANT

Costco is famous for turning the experience of warehouse shopping into an adventure. As one of the nation’s top three retailers and the world’s largest membership warehouse chain, it has thrived by turning convention on its head. The company never advertises, charges its 64 million members to shop there, and doesn’t mark up any product more than 15 percent. It’s a business model that works, generating more than $90 billion in annual sales.

IN PROFILE: BURT REYNOLDS 

This is the story about a man who wanted to be a professional athlete, and was told he wasn’t good enough; an actor, and was told he wasn’t talented enough; and a movie star, and was told he wasn’t pretty enough. The man is Burt Reynolds, and he went on to become the number one box office star in the world for five straight years. The story behind his spectacular climb to the top is impressive enough. But it’s Reynolds’ uncanny ability to keep coming back – despite changing public tastes, failing fortunes and potentially career-ending flops – that even his worst
critics concede is remarkable.

BRAVO PROFILES: DUSTIN HOFFMAN

Dustin Hoffman’s intensely personal approach to filmmaking has produced some of cinema’s most diverse and moving performances. His distinctive physical appearance forever changed what a leading man should look like, while his relentless pursuit of authenticity helped create characters that would become archetypes for an entire generation. This quest for perfection, bordering on obsession, has led to a reputation for being difficult to work with. But his ability to reinvent himself from one role to the next has made him one of this country’s most
accomplished actors.

BRAVO PROFILES: RUPERT EVERETT

He’s been describe as “outspoken, brash, and not terribly concerned.” Others find his behavior simply “rude.” But his self-mocking humor, surprising frankness and disarming charm remind one that there is more to Rupert Everett than his extraordinary good looks. The 41-year-old Scottish-born actor, writer and singer has always sought fame. But how he has achieved that has as much to do with his performances on stage and screen as it does with who he is: one of
Hollywood’s few openly gay leading men. While being embraced as a heartthrob by both men and women may seem enviable, it has not always been easy for Everett. Like many actors, his career has been marked by with ups and downs. But it’s his ability to withstand the criticism that his lifestyle – and honesty about it – have attracted that make him uniquely compelling to watch, and admire.

RISE OF THE MACHINES

There’s a technological revolution underway, powered by devices as small as a grain of rice. Sensors capable of tracking and recording everything we do are in our phones, our cars, even our bodies, and they’re connected to the Internet. Virtually all products that use electricity now have the ability to “talk” to each other and to us. And what they have to say is profoundly transforming our lives.

IN PROFILE: ROGER CORMAN

He’s been called the “King of the B’s,” the “Pope of Pop Cinema,” “Hollywood’s greatest maverick.” Of the more than 50 films Roger Corman has directed and the more than 300 he has either produced or distributed, some 90-percent have been profitable. His eye for talent has helped launch the careers of some of Hollywood’s brightest stars. And as a producer, he’s helped develop an entire generation of promising filmmakers. For more than 40 years, he has operated almost entirely outside the Hollywood system, making one low-budget feature after another while building his reputation as one of the last auteurs in the business.

BRAVO PROFILES: GENE HACKMAN

It’s rare in Hollywood that a character actor ever acquires star status. But that is what Gene Hackman has achieved. Hailed as a genius by film critics and actors alike, the 70-year-old Hackman has made the most of his “regular guy” looks and manner to become one of the most respected and sought-after screen personalities working today. But being seen as a star was not what Hackman intended. Although he craves the benefits of stardom at times, he regrets the
toll it has exacted on his professional and personal life.

IN PROFILE: GEORGE SOROS

To most people, George Soros is best known for being the billionaire philanthropist who bailed out Russia, and the man who “broke” the British pound. Those on Wall Street know him to be a shrewd money manager whose 18-billion dollar Quantum Fund has outperformed every other fund for the last 26 years. But those who know him best say he thinks he’s been anointed by God to solve the world’s irresolvable problems, deliberately courting controversy and making
enemies by using his billions to promote his political beliefs: Opposing the war on drugs, prison reform, welfare reform, increasing immigration, improving the care of the dying. He has become a speculator in ideas, making himself the most intriguing, and to some, the most infuriating philanthropist of our time.

BRAVO PROFILES: ALBERT BROOKS

His films have become cult classics. His early stand-up routines are legendary for their novelty, wit and intelligence. His peers say he is a comedian’s comedian. So why isn’t Albert Brooks a household name? Since the late 1960s, Brooks has been making us laugh with his quirky, satirical comedy. He has written, directed and acted in half a dozen of his own movies while making smaller, though memorable appearances in the films of others. Yet, no matter how
much of his angst and offbeat, neurotic views on life (or death) are reflected in his work, Brooks remains largely an enigma and a recluse, leading many to question why one of the “funniest men alive” is also one of comedy’s best kept secrets.

BRAVO PROFILES: PENN & TELLER

They are the “Bad Boys of magic” – elegant con men who blend comedy, music, drama and magic into a darkly funny meditation on reality and illusion that is almost impossible to describe. For 25 years, Penn and Teller have amused and amazed the public while enraging many of their professional colleagues. Theirs is a magic show “for people who hate magic shows.” And by exposing some of the magic community’s time-honored secrets, they
demonstrate that the real fascination of magic is not in how the tricks are done, but, rather, why.
